A PLACE TO BELONG

Creativity. Connection.
Community.

You started painting to make something. Something meaningful. Something that expresses how you see the world.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Pastel Workshop brings artists together to learn, share, and keep growing — with encouragement along the way.

I’ve been painting for 6 years - teaching myself and trying to understand and de-mystify. And then, with your courses and this group, it’s like everything just becomes understandable and clear in less than a month. A big ‘aha-feeling’! So thank you, once again.

FROM THE COMMUNITY

What pastel artists are saying

One of the best instructions on demystifying color I’ve ever seen!

MEET CLINT HOWARD

Connection is everything.

I’m a pastel artist, and I believe that growing as an artist is about more than learning another technique. It’s about finding your voice — and having people beside you as you do.

Pastel Workshop is a place to share what you’re making, explore what’s possible, and build a painting practice that’s your own.

Let’s make something together.
